Notes

Cold Fermentation: After 12-36 hours this
mixture will begin to churn and produce CO2. Once you see signs of fermentation, slowly cool temperature of the wort to
50° - 55°F (about 1° per hour). After 10 days since the wort
started fermenting, the mixture will calm down and the excess proteins will settle at the bottom of the primary fermenter. At
this time, raise the temperature to 60° - 70°F for 2 days to improve flavor. Check the specific gravity to make sure it is within 3-4 points of the FG and then carefully move the fermenter full of beer to a counter top. Be careful not to disturb the sediment. You can move the primary fermenter several hours before you intend to transfer, so the sediment has a chance to resettle to
the bottom of the primary fermenter. Carefully siphon the beer into the sanitized secondary fermenter. Move the airlock
from the primary fermenter to the secondary fermenter. Make sure the airlock has enough water. Slowly cool the beer (over
2 days) down to about 40°F for 3-4 weeks. If the beer has not cleared, you can add Claro K.C. finings for beer.
